good on her for not being put off.

I'm hoping to breastfeed shortly and hope I am able to have her great attitude.


I love how it's always men that complain the loudest about women's issues like breastfeeding, abortions etc.

If it had been me , I would have said "you could have found another place to be a closed minded jerk "

...I would then , have proceeded to take my child off my breast , go sit as close as possible to the man , have the baby cry for a few minutes in his ear and ask "now which do you prefer ? the buffet bar , or the night club ?"
Then I would have carried on feeding baby .

*Like* a lot, Kelly!!

 

What a rude a-hole of a guy.  I'm yet to have any comments on BF any of my children in public, but if I ever do negative ones then I'll be sure to use Kelly's response.

My babies:

R (9),G (7), J (5)

OMG!! That is shocking!

I was breastfeeding in there on Friday, had absolutely no comments or anything.

But I agree with what you would have done Kelly, a friend of mine was at the docs for her bubs 6 week jabs, as per usual running behind schedule so her baby was crying and she BF him and people kept giving her dirty looks and saying she could do that in private. But she asked would they rather him screaming or being quiet and feeding.

I thought the comment at the bottom of that article about a recent survey that said 1/3 of people think women should breastfeed in the bathroom not the restaurant was interesting and a bit off.

Its ok for us to eat at the table but not our babies.

The thing is most non parents fail to realise bathroom generally have a change table and no seats unless you sit on the toilet and feed baby which - no thanks!!

There are only seating in the parents rooms which I have found and even then some malls have like 1 seat or none!

I for one refuse to breastfeed my baby in a scummy toilet where there is urine and poo. No way. So if he is hungry he is hungry! If I feel uncomfortable where I am I will breastfeed in the car, but I have still had passers by walking past so it's still public.

I have had one comment - on the day that my baby had his baby dedication (like a christening). I will one day have the guts to tell her how I felt about that...

I don't like the parents rooms anyways, the whole changing of dirty nappies in the same place as you feed grosses me out.

I don't eat near where I go to the toilet, why should my baby.

Its like we have to deal with everyone else issues around breasts, wish they'd get over themselves.

Same here! I'd have all these clever comebacks lined up in my head ready to go as soon as I popped my boob out, but I never got the chance to use any of them. I didn't even get dirty looks. And I still BF number two so when out and about I still wait for a negative comment but none so far. What's the bet the day I do get one, I'll get all flustered, forget what I wanted to say, and just cry.

Me too!! although for all I know people have given me dirty looks but I would never notice that mwahahahaha. I would especially love someone to say something to me when I am having a bad day and I could just go nuts hehe.

I don't mind breastfeeding in Public, in fact I hope it encourages others to do the same, it can be quite lonely being locked away to feed. MIL and DP always send me off to the parents room!

Most of the parents rooms I have been to have cubicles with arm chairs in them and curtains for privacy and the changing facilities are on the other side of the room.

I understand the whole 'breasts are sexualised and used to sell things' because that's true but boobs are for feeding babies too! Thats what they were designed to do!

I have a whole long list of comments for anyone that dare say anything to me!
Never had any comments just people giving looks or looking kinda awkward! A couple of friends came to visit me in my own home and were like "Well gee, this is awkward!" (no kids) but it was either that or her scream! Luckily my bestie when she came I said 'sorry, gotta feed her!" she said "All good!"

Yea, I totally agree. First and foremost, they're there to feed babies. There should be no issue with that! And while I'm comfortable with the fact men find them sexy too (added bonus, perhaps?) if the way we portray them in our society makes people uncomfortable about their main purpose, it's that that should change, not the breastfeeding!! As C&J says, Mums bear the brunt of other people's hang-ups, and it shouldn't be that way.

Men are the first ones to comment but yet they wouldnt think twice about taking a leak against a tree if they needed too or they wouldnt think twice about gawking at a half naked chick wearing a mini skirt or top that shows tones of cleavage.

Reckon they are just annoyed that we are using our breasts for things that arent as appealing to them so they have to comment negatively
